The announcement in yesterday
mornings papers that no admissio l
fee would be charged to see the cham-
pionship game between Memphis and
New Orleans drew an unusually large
number Of people to Citizens Park In
the afternoon, and when Umpire Suck
called play fully 1000 persons occupied
seats in the grand stand on and the
bleaching boards. The game was in
teresting and exciting during the fist
Eve innings, and the score was twice
tied. At the beginning Of the sixth
inning both teams bad nine runs
ecored to their credit. In this inning
the Browns wsded in and made four
runs and in the next inning they added
two more. The Pelicsns failed to
score after tie fitth iuning, and tie
game was won by the Browns by the
score OF 10 to O. Only eight innings
were played, the game being called on
account OF darkness. The roasting
that had been given the New Orleans
men by the Memphis press setmsd TO
have had the desired effect. They
played ball to win, and not once did
they question any OF Umpire Sucks
declsiops. Before the gene Manager
PeliE and Capt. Cline instructed Suck
to give the visitors the benefit Of every
doubt, and he carried out the in.
